Been a minute since I lived in a dorm, but my faithful electric kettle and Bodum Chambord French press survived through my entire 5-1/2 year college career.

I personally use a hario mini along with the 3 cup bodum chambord french press as well as a water kettle. It works pretty well but its kind of shitty to clean my mug as well as french press, but still pretty damn convenient.

I had a tiny 3-cup Bodum Chambord French press that I accidentally dropped in the sink while washing it and there went 15 years of use and many memories.

Bodum Chambord French presses are the best. I own a 12 cup and a 4 cup of that model. Those are fine pieces of machinery. They're a bit more expensive, but it is completely worth it.

I have a 11 year old Bodum Chambord french press that still looks new. Sure it cost $40 up front but had I spent $15 on an Ikea plastic press I would have replaced it by now.

I use Bodum Chambord French presses. Grounds go in the compost (a cupping spoon is quite helpful for this), then I rinse the vessel and put everything into the dishwasher. As the small 0.35L ones are only 10€ per piece, I have two.

I bought my Bodum Chambord french press in the late 1980s. Looks great and still going strong with the same glass.

I bought this one and it definitely costs more, but it's pretty big and I like it quite a bit

Nutze eine Bodum Chambord French Press. Hat deutlich mehr Aroma und lässt sich vernünftig reinigen und da wird nicht der Kaffee durch vergammelte Reste gepresst, wie bei den meisten Vollautomaten.

We have a Bodum Chambord French Press and a Bialetti Moka Expresso for on the stove. We fell in love with the process of making a good cup of coffee.

I have the same Bodum Chambord French Press in glass. I've been using this one for about 2 decades so far without any accidents (knock on wood).

I use a Bodum Chambord french press (34oz) I ordered from Amazon. It's been holding up over a year now with no problems. It's roughly 40$.

I have been using the same Bodum Chambord French Press and Baratzza Encore Grinder for over a decade.

I have a Mr. Coffee Simple Grind and a Bodum Chambord French Press. Works perfectly for me.

And I love it; it is so easy to use and makes the whole ritual of coffee-making so much more pleasurable for me.
